McCain Wants Ballmer For His Cabinet

Posted by kdawson on from the throwing-chairs-at-the-chinese dept.

While many people jumped all over presidential hopeful John McCain's wrong-headed view on network neutrality, few noticed his infuriating love for Microsoft. "[T]he 70 year old presidential hopeful also said that he would ask Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to serve on his cabinet to deal with technology issues if elected. He did not however say what position Ballmer might be hired in, but did joke that he might consider him for a diplomatic position, such as ambassador to China."

    "On the Democratic side, the least dishonest politicians are Hillary Clinton, Dennis Kucinich, and Barack Obama."

    Clinton, Kucinich and Obama are the least dishonest? Could you please give us access to the database of truth and lies from which you're pulling this bullshit statement?

    "Of course, Fred Thompson has an excellent chance to win. Nothing is more superficial and flashy than an actor."

    Nevermind the fact that Thompson has spent more time in elected office than Clinton or Obama... You pick on the fact that he's been an actor. That's really substantive... judging a book by it's cover. Thompson has been part of the Federal government scene since he was an Assistant US Attorney in the late sixties and early seventies. Thanks for the knee-jerk reaction though... you just reminded all of us in the center what disgusts us about partisan douchebags!
